With sales of over 2 million units, radio hits, media and touring, Dove-Award winner and American Music Award nominee Jeremy Camp is continuing to make a definitive mark in the industry with his hit songs and ability to capture audiences of all ages. Being named “Songwriter of the Year” in 2006, and awarded in 2005 and 2006 for “Song of the Year”, at the 28th Annual ASCAP Christian Music Awards, Camp has marked his place in the Christian Music Industry. With an amazing 13 No. 1 back to back radio hits under his belt, including his first three releases from Beyond Measure, “Tonight” (CHR), “What It Means” (AC) and “Give You Glory”, Camp has graced the covers of Pollstar, CCM, Breakaway and Christian Music Planet, and has also garnered consistent praise from such publications as Billboard, CCM, CRW and R&R with each recording. CCM magazine named him 2005’s Reader’s Choice for Favorite Artist and Favorite Male Artist, and most recently Camp was nominated for an American Music Award for Favorite Inspirational Artist.
With over 8 million career scans, the GRAMMY-nominated Portable Sounds is TobyMac's latest and highest solo debut ever on the Billboard Top 200 chart (No. 10), and after hitting No. 1 on SoundScan’s Contemporary Christian Overall chart in its first week as well, the project has scanned over 300,000 units and is still solidly in the top 20 after 48 weeks of release. Along with this sales success, TobyMac was named R&R’s Christian CHR Artist of the Year, while over 100 Christian radio stations played his smash hit singles "I'm For You" and "Made to Love", and his video for his rock hit “Boomin’”was named the Gospel Music Channel’s Video of the Year and CCM magazine reader’s Best Music VIdeo for 2007. TobyMac released his solo debut (Momentum 2001) followed by the critically acclaimed Welcome to Diverse City (2004), both of which received GRAMMY nominations, and most recently were awarded RIAA Gold Certification. As a solo artist, in addition to rave reviews and a favorite in magazine and internet Reader's Choice polls each year, including 2007’s CCM magazine Best Male Artist of the Year, TobyMac has also won seven Dove Awards, received nine GMA Music/Dove Award nominations, and was recently nominated for an American Music Award as Favorite Inspirational Artist.
Sparrow Records recording artist Matthew West catapulted onto the Christian music scene in 2003 with his debut single, "More,” which became the most played Christian AC song of 2004, according to R&R. Since that time, West’s two critically-acclaimed studio recordings, Happy (2003) and History (2005), have yielded such hits as “Only Grace,” “History” and “Next Thing You Know”. West’s latest recording, Something To Say, featuring the multi-format Christian radio hit “You Are Everything,” released January 15 and debuted at #7 on Nielsen SoundScan’s Christian Retail chart, marking the highest debut for the week. A sought-after songwriter, West’s cuts have been recorded by Rascal Flatts, Billy Ray Cyrus, Natalie Grant, and Mandisa, among many others.
